Supposing there is a "ground of all reality", as some would

Those are the properties of the "god" of computationalism:
arithmetical truth
So you're choosing the attributes of goar to match the theory of
comp? Well I guess that's one way to know what goar is - and a
popular way at that.

If you're not going to jump to conclusions, carrying baggage with
you, let's just call it goar. And I would remind you that there is
not necessarily a goar.
There is a reality, for which various theories attempt to offer an
explaination of.
But the ground of all reality, goar, isn't necessarily transcendent,
infinite, etc... or even singular. If this is science and not
religion we must find out what goar is and its attributes - not
assume them at the start.

We can only assume, and then correct the theory from the observation
of facts and the internal coherence.
